I am having the problem discussed several pages back on this forum concerning Zotfile not moving pdfs to the tablet transfer folder. I get exactly the same error message as mentioned before: "attachme

(FWIW, Zotfile already has watch folder code implemented, but afaik it just allows you to attach files added to the watched folder, not to create new items from them. For anyone interested that should

I believe Zotfile does exactly what you wish it to do.

What ZotFile does is quite similar, yet not quite the same; at least that was my impression after playing around with ZotFile for a while.

Thi is exactly what Zotfile does. I, and many others, I guess use Zotfile to store our attachments to a Dropbox folder... So no need for a feature request, if I understood you correctly.

would be similar to the tablet sync feature of ZotFile, we wondered whether we might just file a feature request. Is there a chance that you could include a feature along these lines in the next vers

I have the following problem: When the user selects 'Send attachment to tablet', zotfile moves attachments to the tablet and assigns them the tag '_tablet'. Now I would also like to move attachments w

My indea of including pdf's as child items (now I know what it means!) is to bulk rename them using Zotfile.

It's possible to add a link to an item as a child item (select an item, click on the paper clip, "attach link to file") If you did that, then mronkko's advice on using Zotfile applies.

sorry for my ignorance, but I have no idea what "child items" are. I've been playing with Zotfile but I couln't find a way to do what I want. Be sure that I will follow your suggestion before doing it

Depends on that you mean by link. If you have linked files as child items, then you can convert these to stored files using Zotfile. If by link you mean the URL field in the item, then this gets more

Pushing und pulling files to the Dropbox still doesn´t work for me, Joscha. Im am using Zotero 4.0.4 Standalone and Zotfile 2.3.3. under Windows 7 (no problems on my mac), Chrome is the Standard-Brows

you can use Zotfile to extract notes from PDFs (and then search notes).

right thread - see about 10 messages up by Joscha - includes link to Zotfile 2.3.4, compatible with Zotero 4.0

I just responded to the auto-update to upgrade Zotero, and now it says that my ZotFile addon is incompatible. Any ideas?

Ok, I tried replacing the pdf.js from the github repository. Still no luck, except now I get a nice error message: "Zotfile was unable to extract...". Too bad, I really like the extraction feature! Ma

Oops, I see the zotfile thread now.
